Today marks the third annual World Rabies Day. This event, organized by the Alliance for Rabies Control, is aimed at raising awareness about the impact of rabies on people and animals as well as the importance of vaccination programs to prevent the disease.

As part of our Serengeti Health Initiative, Lincoln Park Zoo is leading efforts to vaccinate domestic dogs in Tanzania’s Serengeti region, preventing the spread of the disease among dogs, people and wildlife. You can learn more about the zoo’s efforts—and how you can help—at www.lpzoo.org/serengeti.
